REFERENCE - THE ARTISTS' PHOTO



Currently running at the KZNSA Gallery’s Mezzanine Gallery is an exhibition titled Reference - The Artists' Photo. The KZNSA requested all artists to submit A4 photos of their inspiration or an image they may have taken as reference for an artwork. The results give a fascinating insight into the process of art making.

"The photograph is an important tool in contemporary art practice,” says the publicity material. “We live in a world of technology whereby the photographic medium is a convenient tool for artists to record their environment to make art. The aim of the exhibition is to allow the viewer to peak behind the scenes of the artist’s process. To capture a work in progress or to reference the recording and mapping of an idea, before the production process."

All work is on sale for R50 with the proceeds going to the KZNSA.

Reference - The Artists' Photo runs at the KZNSA Gallery until October 13. The KZNSA is situated at 166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood, in Durban. More information on 031 277 1703, fax 031 201 8051 or cell 082 220 0368 or visit www.kznsagallery.co.za
